Thank you, it's always nice to get a compliment on my writing style, I feel like I tend to ramble a bit. If you want a sample of my IC style you can check [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/57556/posts/ic?page=1]here[/url] and [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/58514/posts/ic]here[/url].

I'm not a huge sci-fi buff so unless you're terribly off on some race I probably won't notice or care, mostly when races have to stick to a certain parameter it somehow ties into the plot, and since this isn't really based on anything canon it won't matter in the long run. I've seen quite a bit of sci-fi but writing it has always been something of a challenge for me, though I love the ideas surrounding it.

As far as plot goes, I was hoping for something pretty lighthearted. I do enjoy story-building and tend to keep making stuff up as I go along. I like the idea of being a bounty hunter, if you're leaning toward being a mercenary character it's not improbably to have a bounty on your head. We have to consider what the characters want, what they're after. Being goal-oriented helps shape the plot, even if the goals change later on. Being a disgraced Andalite makes my character an outcast from his society, and Andalites being social creatures it's very hard on him. Ultimately he wants to go home but knows that it is impossible for him to do so, as he would never be accepted back by his people. As for a secondary goal, he's looking for a purpose since he can no longer serve his people as a warrior, and he sees hunting down ruthless criminals as a sort of penance, as an added bonus he gets paid to do it. 

What kind of character did you have in mind? You don't have to choose a race yet, just general ideas to build off of.
